It might not necessarily destroy your IQ to have children, but it does keep you from bettering yourself. My friends who have children are so frazzled all the time. They are not as sociable as they were before, when it comes to going out. They never seem to have the time to take new classes, go to see a play, go to a museum, etc. You can see where I am going with this. Even getting married or just being in a committed relationship starts to diminish your personal growth time, because its not just you anymore. You have to account for your partner. Now add 1-3 kids, and count your life goodbye.

Don't get me wrong, I think having children is an important thing. The human race depends on this. However, this bring me to a second revelation...mostly stupid people are breeding! The smart, intelligent people are not having kids for the exact reason I just mentioned. The one's that are breeding are the people that need more money from welfare, don't have any direction in life, etc. Just drive through the bad areas of town, and you'll see what I am talking about.
